They say you’ve got to be in it to win it, and GSI was very pleased to be the recipient of a $300
donation after entering a local restaurant’s community donation program.
Every month Grill’d restaurants support three local community groups through their ‘Local Matters in
Action’ campaign. Donation Jars are provided at each restaurant for each charity, and customers can drop a
token into their chosen community group’s donation jar when they purchase a burger.

Since 2014 our team at Morley has served over 184,500
customers and sold over 601,000 items. What’s more, this
has now led to the ongoing employment of nine people
and 19 volunteers.
Our Morley store has now expanded, making it bigger and better
than ever – our new 24-hour drop off point means we can take
additional donations from the local community.

In May we celebrated Volunteer Week to recognise our 200 dedicated Volunteers for the wonderful work they do. We gave letters of appreciation and a small gift to all our volunteers at morning teas held at our 30 locations to say ‘thank you’ for their valuable assistance and support. Our Willetton Store Manager Del Oakley praises ten-year volunteer Sylvia Dawson for ‘her dedication to GSI, always being reliable, hard-working and helpful in all tasks in the store’.

The recent International Day of People with Disability was celebrated at GSI with more than 400 people
attending a function to see scholarships and awards presented to 37 outstanding recipients.
Mr Jim Walker, Chair of the State Training Board; Uniting Church Moderator, Rev Steve Francis; Quadrant’s Executive
Manager, Corporate Affairs, David Parker, Fleet West Directors, Phil Oliver and Laura Alvaro-Oliver and GSI’s Chairman
and Deputy Chair, Trent Bartlett and Chris Walker presented awards to a very talented group of people.

The doors to the new Good Sammy Store & Donation Centre in Butler opened without fanfare on
30 August giving the local community an opportunity to have a sneak peek before the Grand Opening
on Saturday 2 September.

Being reliant on the disability support pension presented a major financial barrier for Simon to qualify for the word work industry. A barrier which was overcome, thanks to our Ralph Sutton Fund which enables clients to receive financial assistance to undertake training.
